rHE PANhANpLE ROBBERY.

Tailor Making Clothes For Trainmen
with stolen GoOds-The Railroad Com.
pany Will Press the Suits.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 15.-Some new
points in the wholesale Panhandle railroad
robbery were developed to-day. The de-
tectives having the matter in charge are
very reticent, but claim to have evidence
that will lead to the conviction of o num-
Der Of men who have not yet been arrested.
Detective Gilkinson, in conversation with
q reporter this morning, said: "a leading
tailor solicited an interview with me yes
terday, saying he thought he was making
up some Of the stolen goods for trainmcn.
l went down and found Q pair
Of pantaioons that he had just com.
pleted for John Kirkwood, WIN 10
under arrest. The goods had been stolen
from train. Suits had been made for
Others" More or less confidence is ex-
pressed among the friends Of the impris-
oned men that not enough evidence can be
produced to secure conviction, but there
will be an abundance of witnesses At any
rate. Detective Gilkinson says fully 6O0
witnesses would be subpGnaed, coming
from all parts Of the country. 1t Is said
that tho railroad company will only press
the suits against those who have more than
one charge against them, having decided
to use as witnesses many who are now in
jail. The defense will rely largely on the
matter Of doubtful identity, holding that
in the darkness it is impossible to clearly
identify the faces Of people, especially
when these faces are covered with the
CRIME and grease Of their trains.

The HaddOck Case.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, April 13-Yesterday
was occupied in the Haddock murder case
by Judge Weaver, of counsel for the de.
tense, in pleading to the jury. He reviewed
with great weight the theory Of . reasona-
BILE doubt in connection with Arensdorfs
guilt, and claimed for tho defendant com.
plete exemption according to the evi.
dence. Arensdorf's career as citizen
and a business man generally was brought
forth with grea: prominence, and the
skill OF the lawyer was used with equal
vchemence and power in comparing the
drunken life Of the worthless Bismarck
and the villain Leavitt. He claimed that
the preponderance of the evidence was in
favor of the guilt of Leavitt as the assas-
sin, and that the State failed to show
Arensdorf's connection at the scene Of the
murder or his tacit or personal assistance
in the conspiracy leading to the act The
argument was listened to by q crowded
court.

The Sclwartx Trial.

MORRIS, Ill, April 13-An important
piece Of evidence tending to exculpate
Schwartz and Watt, the train men charged
with numbering and robbing Express Mes.
senger Nichols, was given in court last
evening by Daniel Drinkforth, q horse
trainer Of Freeport, ILL, who testified he
was at the depot in Joliet the night of the
robbery, waiting to meet his wife, and
while walking about the place he noticed
two men concealed between the water
tank and tool house. Just before
Nichols train pulled out the two men
jumped aboard either between the engine
and the forward baggage car or between
the two baggage cars. Witness described
the men, one If whom was tall and the 9TH
er short. They had the appearance Of
tramps. He told the circumstances to the
local officers the next day. The inference
is that the strangers and not Schwartz and
Watt are the guilty men. A long and
searching cross-examination failed to ma
terially break the force of the testimony.

Enthusiasm for Art.

A "best on record of an unusual
kind was done last month at Baberton,
Cape Colony. An artist named Wood
cock played the piano for twenty-four
consecutive hours without breaking
harmony" which take to mean that
he had at least two fingers on the key
board throughout the time, unless the
conditions of the exhibition permitted
the employment of his nose. During
the twenty-four hours Mr.. Woodcock
took no other refrcshment than some
beef-tea and an occasional cigar. He
however finished in capital condition,
and subsequently performed at two
music halls, at one of which he was
presented with n gold watch and chain
and the evenings takings. 1t is graft
flying to see such enthusiasm for art on
the very outskirts Of civilization

PARIS, April 4-Dr. Oscar LEM, who has
just returned from q prolonged tour Of ex-
ploration in Africa under the auspices of
tho King Of the BelgiSns, has included IN
his report to the latter some very interest
ing remarks concerning missionary work
In Africa They are, however, far from
encouraging. He renders full justice to
the good intentions Of the missionaries and
to the motives which impel the Scottish
and London societies to send them out.
but he asserts that they waste large sums
Of money for very small results. Ne
groes who are taught BY them to read
and write mostly become unfit for
any manual occupation. They consider
themselves rs good rs the white man,
think it undignified to toll, and when not
engaged in holding large and NOISY prayer
meetings at which every man wants to
take his turn At preaching they roam about
begging and take it very ill il they can not
live altogether on the bread from their
white fellow Christians. The European
factories have learned to beware of these
men and will not give them employment.
So most Of them end by relapsing into bar
barism and vagabondagc, their last state
being worse than their first, as the rene

THE RAILROAD ROBBERS.

Developments In the Case Of the Late
Wholesale Arrests Of Railroad RObbsrs.
PIrTsBuRoH. Pa, April 1a-While rum
maging through the effects Of one OF the
| leaders Of the Panhandle robbers yester-
daysmorning Special Officer Miller discov-
| cred Q package containing six giant dyna-
mite cartridges, sufficient to blow Up the
| largest building in town. A further exami-
nation disclosed . lot Of fuse and caps, in
fact all the necessary paraphernalia for the
successful firing Of the cartridges. Imme-
diately after finding the dynamite an in
vestigation was begun. but the result the
detectives refused to make public. They
even declined to give the name Of the man
in whose room the stun was found, but
Oficer Miller intimated that the object Of
the robber in storing the dynamite was
known and would make good reading when
the proper time for the disclosure came.
There was q consultation between Assist
ant District Attorney Pagan and John H.
Hampton, attorney for the Pennsylvania
company, in regard to the indictment and
trial Of the prisoners, which will be
pushed as speedily ~ possible. 1t is be-
lieved that Q large number Of the men will
plead guilty on one or two charges and
thus escape trial on an accumulation OF
charges. A number Of the petty fellows,
whose stealings were trifiing, will be dis.
charged and told to leave this part Of the
country. The wages Of the men against
whom charges have been made have been
withheld by the company on the ground
that the men owe much more to the COM
pany than 10 due them.
''Some people wonder why we allowed
these depredstions to continue 40 long"
said Mr.. Hampton this morning. ut il
very easily explained. While it is simple
enough to discover the fact that the freight
trains are being robbed, 1t 10 not vt oil easy
to tell just where the robbing 10 going on.
After locating the particular part Of the
line between Philadelphia and Chicago end
St Louis where the crews were stealing, IL
took . long time to get direct evidences
against the men. We have acted with pru.
dence and care and the result will be convic
ton IN every case. There 10 little doubt that
the present exposure will lead to others on
other roads. Some Of these are in the
Pennsylvanis C0mpany's system and some
IN the Baltimore 4 Ohio. Il 10 said that
the stealing on these other roads was
not confined to box car freights. Through
the aid OF teamsters and yard agents, large
quantities Of pig iron and manufactured
iron and steel have been stolen from the
cars in Pittsburgh and several other cities
not far away. These cases will be worked

READING, Pa, April A-For several
yesrs past fifty or moro furnaces in the
Schuylkill valley have been using i'm
mease quantities Of foreign orc, and ore
brought from other States, thus causing
the almost entire cessation Of iron ore
operations in this region. The Interstate
Commerce bill, however, with its high
freightcharges, has caused many furnaces
TO use ore mined in Eastern Pennsylvania,
and there is not q mine between here and
Allentown which is not being worked to
fts fullest capacity. Over two thousand
miners have steady work, and where they
formerly received seventy cents, they
eow get 81 10 and $l.25 per day.

Immigration Boom.

NEW YORK, April l5.-The tide of spring
immigration has set in several weeks earlier
than usual this year and promises to exceed
in volume that of any year since 1852 Last
weeks arrivals amounted to 1885, and
those of a single day certainly exceeded
1000. The first three months Of the present
year exceed those of last year by 1869. In
May. 1852, the arrivals for the month footed
up SS,7GS, and, from present indications.
the number will be nearly as great this
gear. Superintendent Jackson, at Castle
Garden, says the most noticeable increase
has been among the Scandlnavians. The
number of Italians arriving is very large,
however, and agents Of the Mediterranean
lines say that there is a steady demand for
them from the West to work on railroads.
1t is reported that the agents for the Anchor
line never before sold so many prepaid
tickets from Mediterranean ports. The
English lines are also bringing in vast num-
bers of Irish emigrants from Queenstown.
